Beautiful goal from Leicester. Worthy cup winners goal (hopefully!).

Pulisic coming on. I don't want Chelsea to win, but I have to root for him personally.
Nice finish by Tielemans. Now Chelsea will have to really come at them. This still looks like a game that will be decided by individual players rather than one team outplaying another.
Leicester just need to keep things really tight for the next half hour.

As Chelsea have to push more, I fancy Vardy to score. I’d like to see him get the winning goal. He’s been a great servant to the club, even when some of the greedy six came knocking.
The only player to play in every round of the FA Cup since the competition began 150 years ago. That's a heck of an achievement.
Right now Chelsea are mostly camping just outside Leicester's box, so Vardy is entirely isolated. Would love to see him score but he's going to be feeding off scraps as Leicester are forced to bunker.
Chelsea showing their depth with their subs. Their bench players would be starters in most Premier League teams.
And a great win for Leicester! Really enjoyed the emotion of the fans in the stadium. Great result for football. Especially against one of the greedy six.
Congratulations Leicester.
Congratulations Leicester.
The FOXES hunted them down!!!!
Tielemans's goal was epic, and Schmeichel's save was excellent!
VAR worked (for once).
Lineker will be crying tears of joy - this time.
There will be some party in Vardy's tonight!!!
As Blackadder said, the right team won!
I hope Leicester will cherish this, and they get more silverware in the near future!
PS. I hope the Irons start hammering their opposition and help squeeze Chelski out of the top 4!

Cheers. Rice is back so we have a better chance. But Chelsea have to big an advantage I think.
If Leicester manage to beat Chelsea again on Tuesday (hopefully), it can work in West Ham's favour 😉
Delighted to see a Leicester victory, and lovely to see a new team in the record books as worthy winners of the FA Cup. Well done Leicester.
Moreover, Chelsea - having wobbled twice in the past week - don't look nearly as invincible as they may have done a few weeks ago.
Me too. Glad we didn't lose, but we really needed all three points today.
The league match between Leicester and Chelsea should be pretty spicy now.
So I was busy typing the following right as our GOALKEEPER scored the winner:
‘Much of Liverpool’s work against Man Utd thrown away against a hapless West Brom. 2 points dropped are two points dropped regardless of who you’re playing. I didn’t think Liverpool would make fourth unless they won all their remaining games. It could still happen but if you can’t beat West Brom should you be in the CL?’
Oh, fickle fortune.

Sheffield Utd have won 1-0 against Everton - their 6th win of the season, and they now have 20 points.
Their goal was scored by a 17 year old on his first full match debut in the 7th minute.
This scoreline has all but ended Everton's hopes of reaching Europe this season.
All 20 teams have 2 games remaining, with 4th place all to play for.

For all the early promise, it’s quite a disappointing top six. Only Leicester mixing it up with the greedy six. Well apart from Arsenal who have had another shocker who are mixing it up with the mid table!
Paradoxically, once the pressures of attempting to stave off relegation have been lifted (because you have been relegated, it is a fact, not a fear), relegated teams can be more lethal, as they are more relaxed, and less afraid to err, as the worst that can have happened has already taken place.
Moreover, do not overlook the motivation factor of players seeking to put themselves in the shop window for the inevitable buying and selling sessions that will occur once the season comes to a close.
I had hoped that West Ham would have added to that disruption - even if only to finish above Spurs ... (that is still possible).
Possible but not probable. Our current form is not good.
The Hammers flattered for a while and have had a very good season but I think they may just miss out on European football and honestly I don't think its a bad thing. The Europa League kills teams who don't have the strength in depth. I am praying Spurs don't make it. Probably no need to pray they will screw it up anyway haha
One of my Arnsenal-supporting friends is still hoping for a Saint Totteringhams day this season.
It’s interesting to note that 4th through 10th is still theoretically wide open. Any team trying to get into Europe will need to win their next game.
I had no aspirations to do anything in the CL. I just wanted to be there to stop one of the greedy six. Same for the Europa as well I guess.
